💔 Calm Down, or Stand Up? The Zac, Amaya & CoCo Triangle Has the Villa Talking | Love Island USA Season 7 Recap
Things got spicy in the villa on Love Island USA Season 7, and once again, Zac proved he’s the King of Mixed Signals 👑—but not in a good way.
Let’s get into the drama, because baby… Amaya didn’t come to the island to be told to calm down just for showing her feelings.
🗣️ Zac Tells Amaya to "Calm Down"—But Why?
So here’s what happened. Amaya, being real and expressing how she actually feels about the situation (like any grown woman should), had a moment. She wasn’t yelling. She wasn’t causing a scene. Sis was just... being honest.
Enter Zac—aka Captain Chill Until It's Inconvenient. Instead of listening, validating, or even asking a follow-up question, this man hit her with the age-old, gaslight-coded:
"You need to calm down."
SIR. Calm down where? She was already calm. Just because she’s not smiling and twirling her hair doesn’t mean she’s overreacting. 🙄
🧠 Amaya Was Expressing, Not Exploding
Let’s be real: Amaya has been holding it together all season. And in a moment when she’s finally seen, suddenly her emotions are "too much"? Nope. That’s not it.
It’s giving “I only like you when you’re quiet.” It’s giving “don’t make me look bad in front of the boys.” It’s giving… 🚩
🧊 Axe Is Running the Boys?
Meanwhile, Axe is in full-control mode, lowkey telling the boys how to move. It’s like watching a reality TV puppet master in swim trunks. He’s dropping subtle opinions, trying to sway who talks to who, and who’s allowed to feel what.
Why is Axe acting like he’s casting the next episode of Survivor: Villa Edition? Mind your match and stop trying to produce the show, sir.
🌸 CoCo Leaves the Villa with Grace
Let’s take a moment for CoCo. That girl walked out like a QUEEN. Poised, peaceful, and beautiful in every way. Her time may have been short, but her impact? Undeniable.
From her stunning looks to her energy that never felt forced, CoCo was one of the few islanders who didn’t play games. No fake alliances. No messy triangles. Just vibes. 💅🏽✨
She didn’t cry, she didn’t scream, she gave the villa that mature “I know who I am” walkout—and we loved it.
Final Thoughts: Let Women Be Expressive Without Being Labeled “Too Much”
It’s 2025 and somehow we still have to defend women for showing emotion? Amaya, keep speaking up. CoCo, keep glowing. And Zac? Maybe stop trying to silence women when things get real.
As for Axe… boy, stop playing chess with people’s hearts. The audience sees everything.
What did YOU think?
Was Zac out of line? Should Amaya have stayed calm, or was she right to speak her truth? And are the boys letting Axe run things a little too much?
